Undertale: the Narrator's Musical

Project Overview

So yeah, I know that Man on the Internet has done their Undertale musical, and they have done a PHENOMENAL job with it.  Though I do adore it, I then got an idea to do this one, because it has one primary aspect that MotI's doesn't: incorporating the Narrator Chara theory. (Also story arc expansion and several Arc Words, but we'll get to that later. ;))

It follows the story of the True Pacifist Route, though with the Narrator Chara theory implemented, so some of the parts that has Frisk walking alone in the game will have conversations between Frisk and Chara, many of them musical numbers. There will be a total of 48 songs in this musical.

And because the concept of SAVE files and resetting comes up in Undertale, even in True Pacifist, the concept of the Player as a controlling entity that Sans calls the Anomaly will come up into play as well—which includes the Anomalies getting songs of their own that they share with Frisk and Chara.


Now, rules time!

1. . You can sing acapella or with a backing track, and a sample of at least 10 seconds would be sufficient. That way I can get a good idea of how your voice would sound as the character and staying on good pitch and rhythm with the song.

2.  This project will be long-term, so make sure you're willing to stay committed to it!

3. If there are any fan-artists who would be willing to do art for the various songs and the play as a whole (as animation is very difficult though if you want to do animation be my guest!), feel free to inform me! (My email is joystarproductions at gmail.com. 

4. Have a good quality mic if possible—on movie/musical soundtracks the voices sound clear when people sing, and I want that to come through as well for this. :)

5. Any song you sing is good, though if you have trouble thinking of one I'll happily put up some lyric samples of the songs I've written for the musical.  I have a few of the lyrics here, plus context, plus demos. ;) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzEGk7ondnSCVUdrZ0oxMXFzVDQ?usp=sharing 

6. There are a couple songs in the musical that I've written myself (as in, not based strictly around an Undertale song though incorporating leitmotifs), but the only composing program I have to work with is Garageband (which is basic) and I'm not too experienced with that. So if anyone's good at composing background music I'd love to have your assistance! :)

All the auditions were great, and it was a real challenge to pick in some cases! I'll send the Discord link to all of you who I haven't sent it to yet!
  • Very slight extension–extending callbacks by a couple days and also allowing new auditions

    So as you probably see, I still have two roles open, Pacifist and Asriel. Two reasons: 1 I haven't gotten all the callbacks yet, and 2, it's really hard to pick those. XD I will opening any additional auditions for those for the next 3 days should anyone want to. :)
  • Callback Deadline

    For those of you who haven't gotten your callbacks in yet, I'm setting August 11th as the deadline for those, which is two weeks from now. Just enough so you guys aren't too rushed and the team isn't left hanging. :)
  • Callback time!

    Thanks so, SO much to every one of you who auditioned, the support I've got for this is fantastic and there were so many amazing auditions to pick from! It was a really tough call in some cases, so tough that I'm doing a few callbacks for some roles. (especially considering the sheer amount of auditions for some certain characters. XD). So, here are the people I'm calling back for a few of the different roles! :D I'll get your script and song samples to you by tomorrow if I can! :) Frisk: -gerranamaris -meggie-elise -emmykat-voices Chara: -melodiva -roxrezi -hopefulleaf -oliviaputnam Asriel: -candyqueen01 -bearandrocky1 -Crudkip -powerofneo Undyne: -maisykay -emmykat voices -bearandrocky1 Pacifist Anomaly: -meggie-elise -nyantemmiechu -willowquinn Congrats to everyone who got cast, and good luck to everyone in the upcoming callbacks! ;)

Frisk
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: gearranamaris

The joint protagonist of the musical, who above all things is ridiculously determined.


Also, since she and Chara are main characters and thus there's a good amount of interaction, be prepared to sing. As Frisk is in a large percentage of the songs, a wide range is preferable.

  • (before Omega Flowey's fight) Um... Chara? Any advice?


    (For reference, I pronounce "Chara" like the first two syllables in "character".)

  • (before going into the True Lab) We beat a crazy flower who kept killing me, didn't we?  Well, we did it with the souls' help. We can take on anything!... I hope.

Chara
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Maiden Melody

The other protagonist of the musical (and the one who it's named after), Chara is a bit snarky and at first mistrustful, helping Frisk out of obligation since they're stuck together,  She really opens up to Frisk over time however, and begins to see her almost as a sibling.


Also, since she and Frisk are main characters and thus there's a good amount of interaction, be prepared to sing a few songs. After all, the musical has her namesake—or rather, role-sake.  As Chara is in a large percentage of the songs, a wide range is good, and be aware that there is one song in particular that Chara gets that is pretty high. So keep that in mind when auditioning!

  • (Just before Flowey sings in Your Best Nightmare, right after Frisk asks for advice on beating Omega Flowey) Yeah, I've got advice: Try not to die.

  • You have everyone, Frisk. Who do I have?!... (sighs) You have people who love you... and care about you... They don't even know I exist, you're the only one who can see me...

Flowey is, of course, the little homicidal flower with a "kill or be killed" philosophy.  Good if your voice can have an edge between friendly and psychotic depending on the scene. Tenor voice.

Sans

Sans has a bit of a lower, laid-back voice. In this show, he learns that Frisk is aware of the resets after she dies once and explains what happens.. Baritone or tenor voice works.

  • Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand. Haha, the old whoopie-cushion-in-the-hand trick. It's always funny.

  • You're aware of the resets?

Both Asriel's child voice and God of Hyperdeath will be used in this role, so keep that in mind when auditioning! Mezzo-tenor/baritone voice.

  • Finally…I was so tired of being a flower… Chara? Are you there? It's me… your best friend…  (in God of Hyperdeath voice) Asriel Dreemurr.

Asgore has a bass-baritone voice, both determined to free his people while at the same time guilty about what he's had to do to get to this point. Despite it all, he can be kind and have a goofy side as well.

Pretty depressed-sounding, low self-confidence but still able to sing a jazzy number. Any range is good that can hit the notes of Ghost Fight.

The Anomaly (Pacifist Voice)

Role assigned to: wintermelon

One of two voices that Chara and Frisk occassionally hear when they die. It's implied the Anomaly is overseeing Frisk and Chara's journey. Pacifist encourages Frisk and Chara to stay on the route they're on, and butts heads with Genocide. Would be represented as a blue spotlight in a musical stage version.


Any range or voice tone is good... after all, it's you.


(Song samples in the Any folder in the project description)

  • (to Chara and Frisk) Keep staying determined you two! You don't need to hurt anyone!

  • (to Genocide voice) Hey, do you mind? We don't need you trying to veer this story on the wrong path!

Role assigned to: candyqueen01

One of two voices that Chara and Frisk occassionally hear when they die. It's implied the Anomaly is overseeing Frisk and Chara's journey. The Genocide voice urges them to try and kill the other monsters, adopting Flowey's philosophy, and butts heads with Pacifist. Would be represented as a red spotlight in a musical stage version. 


Any range or voice tone is good... after all, it's you. (Just don't try to sound too evil—remember, the best way for a villain, even a minor one, to get someone on their side is for their side to seem like a good option)

  • (to Chara and Frisk) Why don't you try killing just one single monster?

  • (to Pacifist voice) It would be so much easier to get rid of everyone in their way.

The guard dogs of Snowdin, tasked with capturing a human but not doing very well at it.  Dogamy and Doggo are male, Dogaressa is female, and Lesser Dog and Greater Dog can be either. Use whatever vocal range you're comfortable with.
